Wrong-o, I had a DI-624 running VxWorks, and it was nothing but trouble. Assuming yours is similar, I’d say you should have gone for a Linksys WRT54G-L and had Linux on-board. I’m using the tomato firmware, http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato and I haven’t looked back.

I have dlink dir-655 that works extremely well and I’d say better than a wrt54g (perhaps because it’s newer). One feature I really like the IP reservations. It’s like having a static IP but not having to configure it. Of course, you can flash a wrt54g with dd-wrt and get lots of new features. However, dlink may have had trouble in the past but their new routers are very good and with Linux support it’s even better.

I have that same router. It works fine except that I get log delays when ever I go to a knew website. I think it has something to do with my DNS settings. Additionally, I have it plug into another router. But I want to be able to access the file shares on those computers but it’s blocking me. Anyway, I can get this to work? Did you have the same issue?

PS remind me in emai.

Not sure how your mileage may go, but I own a DI-524 and have had nothing but trouble with it. I’ve only managed to get it to behave recently by turning just about every software option off, and hook it to my networks core switch (A nice Nortel Baystack 450 I managed to get for free, 1000baseSX card included) via one of the 524’s switch ports.

No NAT, no internal firewalling, no DNS, no DHCP. Nothing. Nothing to break. I’ve got other devices on my network that do all of those features, and do them a helluva lot better than the DI-524.

WOW, I didn’t know it was so infamous. The belkin I had before was not high on anybody’s list either. I just needed something that could distribute internet. I definitely should have asked you guys when going for a Router…

If it breaks, No problem… I will only give me a reason to go a buy a new one. 😀
